because the whole food is going to take longer to break down than shakes i think this is a bad idea... Save the carbs for a CARB UP...

So what do you mean by this??

I am not going to do 0 carbs anymore for 5 days straight becuase my workouts turn to shit and i don't see it worth it, if i can't perform to my fullest ability in the gym.

Do you mean for jsut save the carbs for post workout, for example 40g whey protein/30g of Dextrose?

you shouldn't be taking carbs post-workout on a TKD! you would be defeating the purpose.

a good ordinary carb source for pre-workout on a TKD would be skim milk.....or something like gatorade or maltodextrin or sweet tarts, etc.


the goal is to take in as much carbs as you can, but be back in ketosis after your workout.....takes some practice to get it right.

if you take carbs post-workout, it is going to take you a lot longer to get back in ketosis.

I've read on some posts that some folks can get away with taking carbs post workout. of course everyone is different.
